Just here for the quick updates about the trash government.

@RealHughJackman please answer or I’ll have to switch allegiance to @VancityReynolds

If we can afford to give the Pentagon $2B every day, we can afford Medicare for All.

Police killed 121 people in traffic stops in 2020.

Black people are pulled over at disproportionate rates.

Sandra Bland. Philando Castile. Daunte Wright. All their deaths began with a traffic stop. Remove police from traffic enforcement. We can't keep adding names to this list.

If I could have a superpower it would be falling asleep as soon as I go to bed.

Here’s what a few billionaires would owe with a #WealthTax:

💵Jeff Bezos: $5.7B
💵Elon Musk: $4.6B
💵Bill Gates: $3.6B

That'd leave them with:

📈Bezos: $185B
📈Musk: $149B
📈Gates: $116B

Something tells me they’d be okay. It’s time for the ultra-rich to pay their fair share.

A $15 minimum wage was already a compromise. Now some Democrats are blocking it.

$1400 survival checks was already a compromise. Now some Democrats have taken them away from 17M people.

We have the House, Senate, and White House. Blocking more help for people is unjustifiable.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The actual crisis is how entire generations are sunk w/inhumane levels of student debt, low incomes, high rent, no guarantee of healthcare & little action on climate change which creates a situation where feeling stable enough to have a kid can feel more like a luxury than a norm

BIG THANKS to the volunteers who made over 784,000 phone calls to senior citizens in Texas today.

You helped to connect them with water, food, transportation, and shelter.

And you made sure that they knew we were thinking about them and that they matter to us.

Goodnight!

The Covid relief bill when passed is going to do a lot of good for working Americans, but one thing that simply cannot be emphasized enough is that it will cut child poverty IN HALF – the biggest reduction in modern history. That's why we must act and act quickly.

Christians stand with the Anishinaabe for environmental justice. Join me and tell @JoeBiden: #BuildBackFossilFree and #StopLine3 pipeline! https://t.co/Z8UXjRVuKY

Is it really an episode of #ThisIsUs if it doesn’t start with a terrible tragedy??

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

Undocumented immigrants have risked their lives while serving our country during the #COVID19 pandemic. It’s time we provide them with a pathway to citizenship. #ImmigrationReformNow

[Charles Booker @Booker4KY]

It is a big deal that Trump is out. It is a big deal that McConnell can’t turn the Senate into a graveyard anymore.

But be clear. This isn’t where we rest. The real work of ending poverty and racism is still before us.

We have system changing work yet to do.

$1,400 ≠ $2,000

This is Bruno Marsten, the shelter’s longest term resident!
He’s looking for a home with no other pets, experienced dog owners and lots of snuggles and treats! 🥰

On today, the Feast of the Epiphany, I am reminded that an insecure ruler named Herod was so threatened by the birth of Jesus that he tried to overthrow the result by putting a hit out on a toddler.

Don’t expect yourself to be productive right now.
